In short

Pro costs $9 per member a month on yearly billing for 1 to 10 members, so 5 people pay $45 a month¹.
No free plan is listed; the page offers a 30-day free trial¹.
Pro includes Gantt, Board, Calendar views, dependencies and unlimited forms¹.
Workload tracking starts on Business at $19 per member a month on yearly billing¹.
SAML single sign-on is limited to Enterprise^1,3.

Smartsheet suits small teams that want Gantt charts, dependencies and forms at $45 a month for five people on Pro¹. The catch is the lack of a free plan, and Pro is open to new customers only¹. Workload tracking needs Business, SAML sign-in needs Enterprise, and time tracking needs a separately quoted add-on^1,5.

Best for: Teams that think in spreadsheets and want Gantt charts and forms.
